How to SSD+HDD=HDD with some of the SSDs speed?

[Torro]

I understood that on a PC with an SSD and a HDD, i can take some of the space from the SSD and with it i can improve the HDDs speeds.

If such a thing is possible, how can i do it, where can i find a tutorial on how to, and is it worth it or i should just do write caching, and by write caching i mean what this tutorial says in the second method.

Raid.

I used this guide to set up SSD cache on my HDD:  http://www.overclock.net/t/1227655/how-to-set-up-intel-smart-response-technology-ssd-caching

Raid.

 

 

 

 

PLEASE DO NOT RAID YOUR SSD WITH YOUR HDD...

 

sigh*

 

its not called RAID, it's called SSD Caching.

 

this will take your SSD and your HDD and combine them into one partition, and the CPU will figure out what data you use the most and place them onto the SSD automatically.

 

You can do this if you have an SSD, an HDD, and a compatible Intel based motherboard that supports Rapid Storage Technology.

 

compatible intel chipsets include:

 

X79, X99

Q87, H87, Z87, H97, Z97

Q77, H77, Z77,

Q67, H67, P67, Z68

 

here is step by step guide

It's NOT the same as RAID!

I believe you mean using an SSD as a cache for a HDD.

[Torro]

Yes thats what i want to do us SSD as cache for HDD and the tutorial in nice.

So with a asus sabertooth mark 2 z97 chipset, windos 8.1 os, 120 Gb SSD and 1Tb HDD this trick is possible?

And is it worth it?
